Title: Composition
Inventor: DYLAN SHAW
IPC: C09J191/06
Filed: 2020-05-28
Abstract: A composition comprises a polymer, a wax, and a thermochromic material. The polymer may be a polyolefin, polylactic acid, polyamide (e.g. casein), ethylene-vinyl acetate, polyurethane, polyolefin, polysaccharide, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Preferably, the wax is paraffin wax having a melting point of 50-70ºC, a microcrystalline wax having a melting point of 60-90ºC, or a Fischer-Tropsch wax having a melting point of 50-130ºC. The thermochromic material may change colour reversibly or irreversibly from -50ºC to 250ºC. Typically, the composition is an adhesive containing 0.01-25 wt.% thermochromic material, wherein the adhesive may be a hot melt adhesive. The adhesive may further contain an antioxidant, a viscosity modifier, or a tackifier. Alternatively, the composition may be a coating composition. A method of visually indicating whether the composition has been exposed to elevated or reduced temperatures is also disclosed.

Title: Photoactive polymer brush materials and EUV patterning using the same
Inventor: EKMINI ANUJA DE SILVA
IPC: G03F7/30
Filed: 2019-02-14
Abstract: Photoactive polymer brush materials and methods for EUV photoresist patterning using the photoactive polymer brush materials are described. The photoactive polymer brush material incorporates a grafting moiety that can be immobilized at the substrate surface, a dry developable or ashable moiety, and a photoacid generator moiety, which are bound to a polymeric backbone. The photoacid generator moiety generates an acid upon exposure to EUV radiation acid at the interface, which overcomes the acid depletion problem to reduce photoresist scumming. The photoacid generator moiety can also facilitate cleavage of the photoactive polymer brush material from the substrate via an optional acid cleavable grafting functionality for the grafting moiety. The dry developable or ashable moiety facilitates complete removal of the photoactive brush material from the substrate in the event there is residue present subsequent to development of the chemically amplified EUV photoresist.

Title: Hydraulic torque wrench
Inventor: Ian O'Brien
IPC: B25B23/00
Filed: 2021-12-15
Abstract: The wrench 10 includes a head 11 having an input 12 for pressurised hydraulic fluid and a rotatable connector, for connecting to an item to be rotated by the wrench. A drive mechanism 13 is driven by fluid from the input and tending to rotate the rotatable connection. A reaction arm 1 mounted 16 on the head selectively allows rotational motion of the arm relative to the head about an axis. The arm is arranged to react against a surface when the drive mechanism rotates the rotatable connection. The mounting 16 includes a splined connection 17 comprising complementary splines 20, 21 on the head and the arm. The connection permits linear motion of the arm relative to the head along the axis from a first position where the splines of the connection interengage so as to prevent relative rotation of the arm and the head, and a second position where the splines do not inter-engage and allow relative rotation of the head and the arm. A travel limiter (7, Figure 9) prevents motion of the reaction arm relative to the head past the second position. At least one biasing member (25, Figure 7) biases the arm into the first position.

IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2022-03-15
Abstract: The disclosure provides where a part of a blockchain transaction is used to modify of a portion of input data which is subsequently secured using an encryption technique. The invention provides a method comprising using an immutable portion of data (A) from a blockchain and using it to modify plain text (P) prior to it being encrypted (C) in a block cipher (E) such as a Hill Cipher. The portion of data (A) can be derived from the block such as the block header, the Merkle Root, a TXID, UTXO in which an encrypted portion of data is to be recorded on chain and/or a hash of at least a portion of the transaction or the block. Additionally, the data (A) may itself be modified (A’), and used as an operand to the encryption technique along with the further operands (x,y). The length of the data (A or A’) can be selected to be the same length as the data to be encrypted and the dimension of the matrix key. The teaching improves upon known block cipher techniques by using data derived from an immutable source, making the ciphertext an accessible and verifiable data item. Decryption is also provided.
